About This "Impression" I captured while walking along the Seine river in June 2009.
At left on the river bank a commemorative display of Renoir´s famous painting, but just what made my special moment is finding a proof of instant recognition. This happens always to me while admiring art or enjoying nature, unexpectedly but very very often. I find it mostly impossible to seize the experience in a picture and even hard to express it in words. The special event is maybe best described as found in Wikipedia:

"Déjà vu" or promnesia, is the experience of feeling sure that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously (an individual feels as though an event has already happened or has happened in the past), although the exact circumstances of the previous encounter are uncertain. The term was coined by a French psychic researcher, Émile Boirac (1851–1917) in his book L'Avenir des sciences psychiques ("The Future of Psychic Sciences"), which expanded upon an essay he wrote while an undergraduate. The experience of déjà vu is usually accompanied by a compelling sense of familiarity, and also a sense of "eeriness", "strangeness", or "weirdness". The "previous" experience is most frequently attributed to a dream, although in some cases there is a firm sense that the experience "genuinely happened" in the past.

Hi Turi, do not ask me who all were present. I am only sure it was me at least. Thanks for your visit.
I noticed your presence too by your visit.

Salut Nicky. De la neige à Oslo jusqu´à Paris et plus au süd. C´est partout ce problème il semble.
Si j´etais une canarie je partais aux Canaries. Mais je ne le suis pas :-) Donc je suis retourné au juin (dans le temps).
Apart de la froide en ce moment, tout va bien j´espère.
je t´embrasse,
Paul

Hi Ania, my theory is that it is most likely the grand grand son of Renoir trying to give you a call on your mobile phone. Renoir himself should be excluded from any suspect as he is inactive for so many years. Please check your memory who else.
hugs,
Paul

Deja vu...? Hmm, don't know, I'd have to search in my memory deeper. Now I'm trying to figure out what kind of weird powers are trying to take control over my mobile phone O_o :P

Hugs,
Ania
